Is It Safe To Take Enema While Taking Dulcolax For Constipation?
Hello, my husband has some issues with constipation. He is very uncomfortable and is having sharp pains. He had tried a dulcolax laxative suppository about a couple hours ago, and then I had bought an enema for him. However, he is afraid because he thinks he might have a hemorrhoid and the enemy has a few warnings on there about that. Is it still safe to use the enema even after trying the dulcolax? Please get back to me asap. Thank you
I understand your concern very well. There is no harm to have enema after taking dulcolax suppository. Every drug or remedy has some side effects and they have to state them on packet or the information sheet provided with the item. It is same in case of enema. So there is nothing to worry.
Thank you.
Regards, Dr. Manan
